About

Creation of an Alchemist

On a weekend back in March, my mother came to visit for the Philadelphia Flower show and I surprised her with supplies for us to make our own nail polish. We both have a great love of nail polish and all things sparklie and since we are both extremely creative, I thought it would be a fun experience for us both.

As we sat at the dining room table, with bottles of glitter, mineral makeup, little bottles and clear nail polish, we began making wonderful creations. My husband, watching from afar was amused at what he saw and said "look at my little alchemists at work".

It was with that one little phrase that an idea began to form. What if I could make my own nail polish? So the process began, lots of research and mixing creations on that same dining room table. When I knew I had a product to have proud of, Alchemy Lacquers was launched.

Shop policies

The science club is Alchemy Lacquers' version of a frequent buyer program. No sign-up is required. Enrollment is automatic when you make your first purchase.

How does it work?
For each bottle of nail polish that is purchased, at regular price, the individual will receive 2 points. Each bottle that is purchased as part of a set or purchased on sale is worth 1 point and those that are ordered on sale are worth 1/2 point. When an individual accumulates 30 points, the points can be redeemed on their next order for a nail lacquer of their choice from the currently available nail lacquers, exuding limited editions.

Do I have to keep track?
No. When you make a purchase from Etsy, the information is recorded and when you have reached 30 points, I will contact you to let you know.

Redemption
After you have decided which polish you would like from those that are currently available, excluding limited editions, include the name of the color in the notes section on Etsy, or notify prior to your purchase. You do not actually need to purchase the polish.

Exclusions
Nail lacquers received as part of a giveaway, purchased second hand or received in blogger packs are also not eligible to receive points. In addition the redeemed nail lacquer will also not earn points. Points are awarded to the individual that purchased through Etsy and are not transferable.

Additional policies and FAQs

• I try to take the most accurate color pictures possible, sometimes monitors display colors differently.
• All Alchemy Lacquers are made in small batches, therefore there might be slight differences in bottles.
• Please shake and roll your nail lacquer once it has received as contents may have settled during shipping.
• Some settling of glitter and separation of color can occur over time; this is normal and can be corrected by frequent shaking of the bottle.
• Nail lacquers with a lot of glitter may appear thick, this is normal.
• Indie nail lacquers are generally thicker than most normal brands. This is due to the base that is used.
• If you prefer your nail lacquer to be thinner, I suggest adding nail polish thinner one drop at a time. Please keep in mind that adding too much thinner to a glitter nail lacquer will adversely effect the suspension properties.
• With some glitter nail lacquers, larger glitters may curve slightly over time. This is normal and should not effect application.
• I recommend using a good quality base coat and top coat. Some glitter nail lacquers might require additional layers of top coat for a smooth finish. I use Seche Fast Dry Top, Gelous or Glitter Food (Nail Pattern Boldness), depending on what type of nail polish it is.
